How to set up Firebase Performance Monitoring alerts?

Step 1: Add Firebase to Your Project

  • Head over to the Firebase Console.
  • Click on "Add Project" or pick your existing one.
  • Just follow the on-screen steps to get Firebase set up for your project.

Step 2: Enable Performance Monitoring

  • In the Firebase Console, find the "Performance Monitoring" section in the left menu.
  • Click "Get Started" if you haven't turned on Performance Monitoring yet.
  • Follow the prompts to set it up for your app.

Step 3: Integrate Performance Monitoring SDK

  • For iOS:

  • Add the Performance Monitoring SDK to your app by updating your Podfile:
    ```bash
    pod 'Firebase/Performance'
    ```

  • Run pod install and open the .xcworkspace file in Xcode.

  • Initialize Firebase in your AppDelegate:
    ```swift
    import Firebase

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    FirebaseApp.configure()
    return true
    }
    ```

  • For Android:

  • Add the Performance Monitoring SDK to your build.gradle file:

\`\`\`gradle
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:20.0.2'
\`\`\`
  • Initialize Firebase in your MainActivity.java or MainActivity.kt:
    ```java
    import com.google.firebase.perf.FirebasePerformance;
    import com.google.firebase.perf.metrics.AddTrace;
    ```

Step 4: Set Up Alerts

  • In the Firebase Console, go to the "Performance Monitoring" section.
  • Click on the "Alerts" tab.
  • Select "Add Alert."

Step 5: Configure Your Alert

  • Pick the type of alert you want to set up (e.g., network request, screen rendering, etc.).
  • Set the threshold value that will trigger the alert.
  • For example, if you want to be alerted when network request response times exceed 2 seconds, set this value accordingly.

Step 6: Select Notification Channels

  • Choose how you want to be notified:
  • Email
  • Slack
  • Webhook
  • PagerDuty
  • Configure the necessary details for your chosen notification channel.

Step 7: Save and Activate the Alert

  • Review your settings.
  • Click on "Save" to activate the alert.

Firebase will now notify you based on the configured thresholds and channels, ensuring you stay informed about your app's performance issues.
